Please, keep the mailing list in CC.
There is currently a bug (in the io package or in Octave - not sure yet) that 
leads to errors when reading/writing non-ASCII characters from/to Excel files.
It is possible to work around that bug by setting the default file encoding to 
UTF-8.
You can either do that in the preferences ("Editor" tab -> Set "Text encoding 
used for loading and saving" to "UTF-8") or with the following command:
 __mfile_encoding__ ("utf-8")

You might have to convert your .m files to UTF-8 if they contain non-ASCII 
characters after that. But the default will most likely change to UTF-8 for 
Octave 7 anyway.

HTH,
Markus
